Hello, I am Jose and I have discovered in 2025 that I can connect five pots at the same time and to the same mobile to put music to the beast

Surely this situation is familiar to you: your friends and you organize a party in the house of someone and someone asks not to take the speaker to wear music. And there that is not-so-like with his Bluetooth speakerputs the music and … you only hear in one area. If people are distributed in several areas, there is no music that is worth. I wish there was a technology to connect several speakers to the same wireless emission, it could be thought. Well there is, It is called atacast and I have discovered it in the middle of 2025 when trying the new LG speakers.

The problem. Bluetooth is very good when we talk about broadcasting something from the device to device B. For example, music from your mobile to a speaker. So far, all good. The problem comes when we want to broadcast two or more devices and that they reproduce the same. That is almost impossible missionor rather, it was. The solution was announced in 2022when Bluetooth SIG (responsible for the Bluetooth standard) announced that the Bluetooth LE Audio specifications were complete. And with this version there was a novelty called to change the way we understand the wireless sound: aircase.

The solution. Atacast is a standard that allows audio transfer to several devices at the same time. This is based on Bluetooth audio and uses the LC3 codec (Low complexity community codec), and so far the technical words. So far, the Bluetooth connection depended on matching an audio source (the mobile) to a recipient (the speaker). With aircraft, the issuing equipment creates a kind of dissemination signal to which other compatible devices can be connected. The easiest way to see it is to imagine A kind of mesh wifi networkbut Bluetooth.

And what is it for? The cases of use of this technology are very wide. We can think of attendance via audio in public transport or museums, emissions One-to-Many In live events or that your partner and you can see the same movie with headphones at home, to say some. Another option is that instead of depending alone and exclusively on the speaker of Non-Sé-Qui also in the next one left with your friends, you can connect several speakers with each other and put music everywhere. And that is precisely what we have tried to do with the new LG Xboom speakers and a couple of devices of a rival brand: JBL.

But first, the presentations.

The beast. AKA LG Xboom Stage 301, is the flagship of the range and the most expensive (300 euros). It is a large, relatively portable speaker (its eight kilos require some strength), with a power of 150W, integrated light and battery effects. It is heard really well and has the ability to fill a medium -sized garden with music without any problem. It can be used plugged in, but also for around half a day with the integrated battery. In addition, you can connect a microphone to the rear to mount a karaoke.

It is a speaker whose sound quality will surprise the one who has the least trained ear. However, it should be noted that it is not a speaker designed to reproduce high fidelity. It is a party speaker ready to listen and give the note outdoors, where it meets its mission. Now, if we talk about sound, one more force of force in the bass and a spark more of sharpness in the acute would have been round. Anyway, what is said, this is very fine and more knowing the most likely use that this speaker will be given.

The median. His name is LG Xboom Bunce. Despite being cheaper than the previous one, I must say that it is the one I liked the most. Not only is it more portable, but its sound price/performance ratio seems better to me. Graves are very successful (acute could improve) and offers a very complete experience. The battery holds almost a day. It is not a cheap speaker (200 euros) and is not intended for high fidelity, but compensates with a pleasant sound, resistance to all types of hardships (water, dust, blows) and a very cool design.

The little one. The most basic model is the Xboom Grab LG, although it is not a cheap speaker (150 euros). The sound is surprisingly clear and the bass have enough stuck, something that surprises in such a format. In middle volumes, the speaker behaves. It is when we upload the volume more of the account when it starts to falter. The battery endures practically all day and water resistance is guaranteed. It is not the one that offers the best sound, but the most portable. However, I continue to stay with the previous one.

How to mount the duffel bag with all three. The three speakers have one thing in common: a button to start the Party Link broadcast. The operation is very simple: we connect our mobile by Bluetooth to a speaker, reproduce something, press the party link button on that speaker and then click on which we want to connect. Ready, automatically the second speaker will reproduce the same as the first, and so many times as connecting speakers.

That is: connecting the mobile to a single speaker we can create a huge LG speakers network because Party Link admits up to ten speakers. With the three LG speakers we have not appreciated a higher latency of the account. In fact, quite the opposite. Synchronization is really precise and we have not noticed that a speaker goes one more thorn ahead than the other.

The key: connect other devices. Party Link is a technology that owns LG, but the key is in the aircraft. Atacast is a function within the Bluetooth specification, Ergo is universal. Although LG speakers are used Party Link, we can use airacast with total tranquility with speakers and headphones of other brands. If you have other compatible collapses, such as a JBL Flip 7 or a Clip 5and even some headphones like JBL Tour One M3 or the LG Xboom Budsyou can connect them too.

Starting a broadcast aircast is not easy for the moment, but When Android arrives 16 Yes it will be since it has a native support. In my case, what I have done has been to connect the mobile to the JBL FLIP 7 and start the aircraft emission from it. Then, I have added the JBL headphones and, from the LG Thinq app, I have connected each LG speaker to the emission started from the JBL Flip 7. Easy and simple. In a matter of 15 seconds I had five devices reproducing exactly the same. With Android 16 it will be even faster.

What does that allow us? Be able to distribute music around different places. If the speakers are in the Bluetooth range, the network can be expanded ad infinitum. Another thing to keep in mind is that volume management is independent. That is, each device can have its own volume, so that one may sound higher, another lower, etc., thus allowing the creation of different environments in the same network.

I have not noticed an appreciable latency in the network created with five devices. I could connect more if I wanted to LG Xboom Buds or the new ones Sony Wh-1000xm6 If I had them at hand, and of course it would be interesting to see where you can connect 20, 30 or 100 speakers. In any case, aircase, without being a new technology, is one of those words to look for possible purchases not because you are going to use it often, but because, when the time comes, it will be appreciated to have it available.
